There are better things to have a litmus test on than abortion. And didn't she directly contradict herself by saying "we're a big tent, but you have to be pro-choice"?
Honestly, it may win elections by appealing to secular single women, but from a policy standpoint, doubling down on social issues won't help improve the country as a whole in the long run. Child poverty, campaign finance reform, and obviously economic recovery are all more critical at the moment.
I don't see these as being mutually exclusive. Making sure women have control over their reproductive choices is a good way to reduce child poverty, for instance.
In any case, I feel that after the last 16 years, Florida Democrats deserve at least a somewhat progressive gubernatorial candidate than someone who was already governor as a Republican.
I thought that all four candidates the FDP nominated in the last 16 years were pretty electable and it got them nowhere.
Anyway, with Scott's unpopularity, the Democrats may well be better off with a "non-electable" candidate than they were with supposedly electable candidates in previous years.
